6. Sort out the aiming

The enemies in Alone in the Dark like to move erratically and this doesn't really fit well with Edward's twitchy aiming. A lock-on would help, allowing you to aim within a zone around the body. Enemies go down easier when you target the fissures on their bodies, but in the Xbox 360 and PC game this is far too hard to do. I realise that Edward might not be a crack shot, but this is a game not real life. It should first and foremost be a fun game to play.

5. Better driving model please

The driving model in Alone in the Dark isn't great. The developer Eden Games has clearly tried to make cars handle like they do in Hollywood movies, but the result is that they spin out at every opportunity. The race through a devastated New York should have been one of the game's most spectacular and exciting sections, but it was ruined by awful vehicle handling. Later in the game there's an awful lot of in-car action, so sorting this out would solve one of the game's most disappointing aspects.
